Meanwhile, some pointed out that Jinger carefully explained her issues with the IBLP in her book without harming the image of her family, which is far from what Jill and Derick did, as they exposed all the dirty secrets of Jim Bob. Several commenters also speculated that Jinger may be the most beloved child of Michelle for how close they were whenever they reunited.

“Jinger seems to be Meech’s #1 kid, I think that buys her a lot of leeway. Plus, she’s been verrrrry careful to criticise the cult more than her family. It’ll be interesting to see if the welcome lasts once she stops making money out of telling half the story and needs to talk about the rest of it to keep the bills paid.”
“Exactly! Jinger is Michelle’s favorite and because of this and not rocking the boat on criticizing her family, she is allowed at the TTH.”
“As long as they profit and keep up appearances noone has publicly outed Perm and JB. The Duggars believe their lifestyles prove that their cult is the truth. Money and fame is their religion.”
“On top of what everyone else has said, I think the distance helps. Jing and Jerm are so far away that their visits are less frequent.”

Counting On: Was Jill Duggar Also At The Big House?

Jinger Duggar Vuolo also shared a photo with Jill wearing casual outfits. It’s unclear where the photo was taken. But there’s a possibility that Jill was also at the big house for the post-wedding celebrations of Jana and Stephen. Jill previously stated that she’s hoping for things to get better between her and her parents. However, many Counting On fans think it’s far from happening, especially after Jill and Derick accused Jim Bob of lying about their family income, which could put him in trouble with the IRS.
